I’m considering enrolling my dog in training classes and would like to know the typical costs involved. Can anyone provide information on the average prices for different types of dog training, such as basic obedience, advanced training, and specialized behavior courses?

Obviously doesn’t come cheap. Depending on where you stay of course. I know a friend who used PetStore to train her Rot breed. So I would think she mentioned that she was paying $120 for 6 weeks. Its one of the cheapest options available to be honest. I don’t know if the rates are still the same. You could confirm at their online webpage

Group Classes:
Basic Obedience: The most common type of dog training class teaches essential commands like sit, stay, come, and heel. Prices typically range from $30 to $50 per session (usually 4-6 weeks long), depending on location, class size, and duration.
Puppy Training: Designed for socializing puppies and teaching basic obedience in a playful environment. Costs are similar to basic obedience classes, ranging from $30 to $50 per session.
Advanced Training: Geared towards dogs proficient in basic commands, focusing on off-leash skills, tricks, or competition readiness. Prices range from $40 to $75 per session.
Private Training:
One-on-One Sessions: Personalized attention for addressing specific behavioral issues. Costs start around $50 to $100 per hour, varying based on trainer experience and location.
Specialized Behavior Courses:
Reactivity or Aggression: Targets issues like leash reactivity or dog-to-dog aggression, priced from $75 to $150 per session due to the intensive nature of training.
Separation Anxiety: Helps dogs manage separation anxiety, with costs similar to reactivity or aggression courses, typically ranging from $75 to $150 per session.
Additional Considerations:
Package Deals: Many trainers offer discounted package deals for group classes, providing more value compared to paying per session.
Location: Urban areas may have higher training costs compared to rural locations.
Trainer Experience: Experienced trainers may charge more but offer valuable expertise, especially for complex behavioral issues.

Costs vary depending on the type of training. Basic obedience in group classes is the most affordable at $15-$125 per session. Advanced group classes for doggy scholars cost more, typically $50-$75 per session. Need help with a specific behavior like barking? Specialized one-on-one sessions can run the highest at $40-$200 per session. Remember, this is a fetch-estimate! Prices can vary based on location and the trainer. Call around to local trainers to get the most paw-sitive quote for your area.

Hello there, Dog training costs vary widely based on location, trainer expertise, and training type. Generally, group classes range from $50 to $125 per session, while private sessions can cost $75 to $150 per hour.
Hi, Avery. Normally, you go to class. It’s more about training you than the dog.
From what I know dog trainers typically charge $40 to $250 each session. The cost varies greatly depending on whether you choose private instruction or group classes.
